KM4CFT Mini Mic Kit For QMX KX2 KX3 ZBitx truSDX usdx Pebble HF

Jonathan, KM4CFT has a new Mini Mic Kit available. This microphone works with a number of QRP radios. It’s similar to the K6ARK Mic that a lot of us have built, but this takes it to another level. It includes all the parts you need, mic, PTT button, 3.5mm input jack, 3D printed housing, etc, but this is built on a PCB that also features a 2 way switch, switching the tip and ring connections making it compatible with a variety of different radios. What that means is you can have one mic to use with both your KX2 and QMX for example. Those radios are wired differently between the Tip and Ring of the 3.5mm plug. Switch position 1 will control the KX2, switch position 2 will control the QMX etc. That’s pretty cool! And it’s only $25! https://hamgadgets.com/KM4CFT-Mini-Mic-kitp72.html There is also a pre-assembled version for $35. https://hamgadgets.com/KM4CFT-Mini-Mic-BUILT_p_73.html

Xiegu has officially revealed the new **G7250**, a full-power **100-watt HF and 6-meter SDR transceiver** with a split radio design, 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, physical controls, built-in automatic antenna tuner, spectrum display, and waterfall.

In this video, we take a first look at the Xiegu G7250 specifications and discuss where this radio may fit in the increasingly competitive 100W HF market. It covers 0.5 to 30 MHz plus 50 to 54 MHz, supports SSB, CW, AM, NFM, and digital modes, produces 100W on HF and 90W on 6 meters, and includes network baseband streaming for compatible SDR software. Pricing and final availability have not yet been announced, but this may be Xiegu’s most ambitious radio yet.

Unboxing and First Look t SpoolTenna

Is the SpoolTenna the ultimate turnkey solution for POTA? In this quick look, I’m testing out the SpoolTenna Park Spool Edition—a 40m-10m EFHW antenna designed for rapid deployment.

From the clever built-in strain relief to the "pen-winding" spool design, this system is built to get you on the air fast. I even managed a solid DX contact to South America on the very first try!

First Contact DX, South America!: Review SpoolTenna POTA

In this video, I’m taking the @SPOOLTENNA out to the park for a real-world POTA activation test! This unique 40m-10m End Fed Half Wave (EFHW) antenna system features a built-in spooling mechanism designed to make setup and teardown a breeze.

I’ll walk you through the unboxing, show you how I deploy it using the Gigaparts POTA 33 mast, and see how it performs on the air with my Yaesu FTDX10. We even managed a great DX contact all the way to Colombia!
